British politics. All eyes are on him all the time. No whisper from him is missed. We were at war. At the hands of a little nation the greatest Empire was sustaining astounding reverses.

Our people staggered under amazement and dismay. Men moved with set faces under a black cloud.

That was the coming of Mr. Lloyd George.
